Microwave ovens, C/D?

Having seen MW's kitchen, I can see how space would be more important than gadgetry.

Pro: Eating a frozen dinner after 5 min of cooking.
Con: Eating a frozen dinner????

Depends on who cooked the frozen dinner. Bulk cooking meals to reheat in the microwave later = classic. Microwave TV dinner, mostly dud, but sometimes I can't be bothered to do anything else.

When I was in microwave-free land, I used to heat some foods up with a skillet, which meant that not-necessarily-fried foods became fried foods.

Thanksgiving leftovers were particularly tasty thus.

Fried mashed potatoes are actually amazingly tasty.

I will say that reheating leftovers is something I do in microwaves and it certainly is convenient. I wonder if part of my aversion to them stems from cooking for two or more. When I was a kid and just making quick food for myself, I used them all the time.

which meant that not-necessarily-fried foods became fried foods.

libcrypt, I cannot help but see that as mostly a good thing.

They're handy for making bread stale for breadcrumbs fairly quickly but beyond that I'm not really a fan, don't have one at home or at work.

I've never done the baked potato thing and I have made semi-scrambled eggs in one before and found it perfectly palatable and they're okay for reheating stuff but I generally find that they don't cook things 'right'.

I have a multi-functional microwave oven. it rocks. but then I have yet to use a proper oven. :-) i love the microwave/oven machine. like for PIZZAS. (I just started making pizzas, it rocks!)

microwave == precooked food reheating machine!!!
microwave =/= food cooking machine

TIL: irrespective of brand, most microwave ovens are all manufactured by the same company

We found evidence that most countertop microwaves sold in the US are manufactured by just one company, Midea. We confirmed with Midea that it makes and sells Toshiba, Comfee, and Black+Decker ovens. We’re also confident that GE, Whirlpool, Sharp, Breville, Insignia, Magic Chef, Hamilton Beach, and others also sell microwaves that were originally built and probably designed in large part by Midea, though all parties that we contacted declined to comment. But here’s why we think Midea is the original manufacturer.

designer sunglasses are pretty much the same story. i find it kind of fascinating.

It make the chicken patty very hpot
